I've just uploaded some of my more recent work onto flickr.
These three were part of a photoshoot for RazorLust. We went to a big, abandoned mansion near where we live, and proceeded to frolic around the stables in costume. The shoot was inspired by the Steampunk trend, of which we are all fans. More photos from the shoot can be found on the RazorLust website
These next few are from a recent trip to London. I had taken a lot more photos, but I'm trying to limit my uploads and I felt that the night photography showed off a different aspect of my work. The statue was in the Tate Modern, which I would recommend a visit to. It's really great, and doesn't actually take all that long to look around, I was surprised. As for the southbank as a whole, I really enjoyed it. I've never really been there before, and I love that it's got this chilled out, laid back vibe that's so different to the rest of London. There were people having beach parties, a saxophonist under a lampost, a fire juggler, a huge second hand book market. I enjoyed it so much, and I actually ended up teaching a friend a thing or two about how to take night photographs!
These last few are a pretty random collection to have all been taken on one day, but are all from my 18th birthday party! I had an old-fashioned picnic tea party in place called Dewstow Gardens. It was built between 1895 and 1925, and is mostly made up of false grottoes, caves, rock formations and lakes, as well as standard features like a rock garden, croquet lawn and walled gardens. It's absolutely amazing, and I'd highly recommend a visit. Unfortunately, there is just so much happening in the grottoes, with water dripping, tropical vines dangling from the roof and flowers of every colour filling your vision, that I couldn't actually get that many photographs of the beautiful gardens themselves. Everything ended up looking too busy. However, it did provide a spectacular backdrop for some pictures of my friends in their finery. I especially like the down-lit picture of Matt with his goggles and blunderbuss!
I hope you like my most recent work! Next time I won't upload so much in one swoop, and I'll have more space to write about each picture indvidually.
Peace,
Vix
